I HAVE A VERY STRONG GASOLINE SMELL COMING FROM, INSIDE AND OUT SIDE MY CAR WHEN IT IS STATIONIONARY. IT SEEMS TO BE WORST, WHEN I HAVE MORE THAN A HALF TANK OF GAS. THE SMELL OF GAS IS IN MY GARAGE AND INSIDE MY HOME WHEN PARKED INSIDE MY GARAGE. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE FREMONT CHEVROLET DEALER AND DROPPED OFF MY CAR TWO WEEKS AGO AT THE DEALER. MY SERVICE ADVISER EDGER SAT IN MY CAR AND SAID TO ME HE NOTICED A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL IN SIDE MY CAR. EDGER TOLD ME THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO A TEST TO MAKE SURE THE GAS FUEL MODULE WAS THE PROBLEM. THEY DID A TEST AND EDGER TOLD ME THE FUEL MODULE WAS DEFECTIVE AND THEY WOULD FIT IT BECAUSE THERE WAS A SAFETY BULLETIN CONCERNING THIS ISSUE AND MY VEHICLE FELL UNDER THE GUIDELINES TO BE REPAIRED FREE OF CHARGE. TWO WEEKS LATER, MY CAR IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP UNPREPAIRED. THEY TOLD ME THEY ARE STILL WAITING FOR THE PART TO COME IN.

MY 2012 CORVETTE GRAND SPORT HAS AN INCREASINGLY STRONG FRESH GASOLINE SMELL ESPECIALLY AFTER FILLING UP. WHEN I START TO SLOW DOWN AND THEN COME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE SMELL BEGINS TO PERMEATE THE PASSENGER CABIN. AFTER READING ONLINE FORUMS IT APPEARS TO BE A RECURRING SAFETY ISSUE/ HAZARD WITH THE C6 GENERATION CORVETTE. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IT COULD BE BUT TO SMELL FRESH GASOLINE IS DEFINITELY HAZARDOUS.
